Re: Update on throttling issue...

Gotta love that we all leave Bell to send a message and now they screw us again.. I cannot even begin to comprehend how Bell feels they are justified. It may not have been the objective but Bit Torrent and P2P are integral parts of the internet today and no amount of throttling is ever going to change that. Do these companies (Bell, Rogers, Comcast, etc) not realize that they are fighting a losing battle?

I'm glad to see that profits still remain the top priority over any quality of service for these huge corporations.

Maybe it is time to send them another message since they seem not to understand.

Cancelling TV service now and looking for an alternative to cancel Bell phone service as well (if anybody has a good local phone company please do recommend).

I hope TSI (and other 3rd party ISP) will fight this and that its customers will stand behind it. If TSI and us dont fight this now, we may never see the days of unhindered internet service again.

And to the people saying that they wont migrate to TSI because of this .... do you really think staying with Bell/Rogers/Videotron/Telus is going to help you get unhindered internet service ? TSI not only gives better and more honest service but is willing to fight for what it believes in ie non throttled and unhindered internet service. I will support them in their fight.

Tell us if we need to get an official petition going or anything of the kind.

Re: Profit over Quality.

Thats exactly right. Bell is always thinking three to ten steps ahead, about how to change the rules to screw everyone over/make a load of cash... WITHOUT upgrading any equipment or spending any of the money they steal from all of us, directly or indirectly. Well... I guess they had to spend money on whatever solution they're using to thottle us :/
